If you are of mind to be
Threatened by forbidden emotions;
Horrified by malicious desires;
Alarmed by irrational anger;
Mortified by contradictions; and
Humiliations
Then, mind that you don’t
Condemn the mind that acts
Out those condemnable acts
But meet these fears and desires
Amicably, in maitrī (मैत्री)
Heed their sweet
Or violent importuning
Receive their message
And let them go
